Obeying the people, who are misleading

Lesson # 774 From the Noble Quran

Obeying the people, who are
misleading

Surah ‘Al-‘An-‘aam (Cattle) – Chapter – 6)–Stage
- 2

Verse
–116 of 165, Section – 14 of 20 (Part - 8)

BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

And if thou obey most of those on earth they will mislead thee far
from Allah’s Way. They follow naught but an opinion, and they do but guess.

‘In- – this word has come three times
in this verse. First time it means “if”. Second and third time it has been used
for the meaning “no, not”. These two types of this word’s meanings must be remembered.
It comes often for the meaning “if”, but sometimes it is used for the meaning “no
and not”.

Yakh-rusuun – (they form an opinion), it has
been derived from the word kharas, which
means “to guess and to say something with rough estimate.

It was told about Holy Qur’an in
the previous verses that It is the Word of Allah Almighty. Neither there is any
doubt in it and nor any person has any authority to make any kind of change in It.

One more fact has been cleared in
this verse and the importance of Holy Qur’an has been proved. If, It is understood
thoroughly then all the disputes of the life end, the course of life can be passed
with comfort and ease in this world as well as the perpetual pleasures and rest
of the Hereafter can be attained too.

The matter to cause to know is
that, there are mostly such people, who cannot say surely anything in the world.
They affect their purpose by means of judgment and suspicion only. While, contrary
to it, every Word of the Holy Qur’an is definite and irrevocable. If giving It
up, other people are obeyed then a person will never obtain anything but error
and depravity.

It is commanded: You will see most
of such people in the world. if you will abide by their instructions, you will go
astray from the correct path, because their sayings are not certain, but are based
only upon their guess and opinion. Whereas, it is not possible to go Straight
Way by conjecture, but the worldly matters are also performed clumsily, and suppose:
if some of those have been corrected anyhow, then have been corrected after a
long time and the experience of the years, while it would be proved that the
conjecture or guess was right or wrong. Then it would be either done with
confidence and wholeheartedly or left.

After concentrating a little bit, it
can be understood that if the Prophets and Messengers of Allah Almighty (peace
be upon Them) had neither come in the world, nor told the certain matters to
the humankind, then the human being would not have been able to be civilized so
early as he seems now, because he would have to follow the supposition and conjecture,
and at that very stage, he would have used to wander until he would not have known
certainly through experience of everything, upon which, the foundation of social
relationship and morality has been established. It was the duty of Prophets and
Messengers (peace be upon Them) that they would have to bring the Scripture of
Allah Almighty and tell the mankind about entire those certain matters, which are
the source of his permanent improvement and correction.
